===The Pot Itself=== '''Materials:''' The pot would have been constructed from natural, local materials. The most common choice would have been woven wood, like willow or hazel branches, similar to how baskets were made. Some may have used reed or other pliable plant fibres. This style of pot is sometimes called an βinkpotβ trap due to its shape. '''Design:''' The design would be simple yet effective. The pot would be woven into a dome or cone shape, with a narrow opening at the top or on the side. This opening would be a funnel, allowing the crab to crawl in after the bait but making it difficult for the crab to find its way back out. The pot would be weighted with stones to ensure it sank and stayed on the seabed.
